If you’re like most of us, you own entirely too many clothes. You probably have things you haven’t worn in years. And yet, when it comes time to dress up, we all say the same thing: “I’ve got nothing to wear!”

How did we get here?

Well, turns out, the problem isn’t our messy closets, it’s our messy relationship with clothes.

Join Erin Flynn, CEO and founder of Cladwell, as she talks to experts in the industry, history, and psychology of fashion. We'll explore the economic and social roots of our obsession with buying, learn from people who've learned to do more with less, and figure out what all of us can do to break this clothes-buying, life-draining cycle we're all trapped in.

    1_Fashion is F*cked (with Elizabeth Cline)

    We all know that something is seriously wrong with Fashion. But what’s harder to uncover is exactly what is wrong, and why?
    Getting to the bottom of questions like these requires the help of an expert. An expert... like Elizabeth Cline.

    StitchFix, Rent the Runway, and hundreds of other startups are telling us they have the solution to our problem. But do they really?

    4_Beauty (with Sam Hills)

    4_Beauty (with Sam Hills)

    Since style is far bigger than just clothes, I wanted a little bit of a different take. So I found an expert in another industry—beauty—where a lot of the messages are unhealthy, but some people are going against the grain and telling a different story.

    5_Why the Women Wore White (with Lindsey Beckley and Dr. Michella Marino)

    5_Why the Women Wore White (with Lindsey Beckley and Dr. Michella Marino)

    In the 1980s, the average American bought just 12 clothing items per year. Today, it’s 68. How did this whole culture of buying clothes begin? What can we learn from our past?

    Michella and Lindsey are scholars of women’s history, so I'm hoping they can help us trace this problem back to its roots.

Thank You

Just found you in June 2022. I am 52 and trying to understand my style and the impact my purchases have and are making in the world. I am binging the episodes and learning a lot. Thank you. ☮️💟

Such a Sweet Little Series!

Erin thank you so much ! What a calming and relatable podcast. I only wish it continued but the limited nature makes it all the more special. I really felt everything you talked about and i think cladwell is amazing too! Always love discussions about slow clothing and fashion and personal style
